Forewords
The risk of explosions in sealed coal mines is an important subject that should be integral to the education of mining and geotechnical engineers. Nevertheless, this is a matter that requires a comprehensive understanding of explosion dynamics, mining operations, and mining safety, subjects which are generally not covered in the curriculum of mining programs worldwide. This book addresses this topic in a manner that covers all fundamental issues of practical importance in a way that is accessible to mining engineering students. The book opens with a historical perspective followed by a survey of the fundamental issues. This provides a clear idea of the problem and potential consequences and presents the problem in practical terms. The creation of flammable atmospheres is introduced through the analysis of different ventilation strategies and approached through the use of different tools, from the simple to the sophisticated. Classification methods, safe operations, and application examples close the book. In summary, this book fills a specialized gap in a manner that is accessible to a broad
